Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Given the absence of an official patch, European organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Restrict network access to the QConvergeConsole management interface by enforcing strict firewall rules and network segmentation, limiting exposure to trusted internal IP addresses only. 2) Monitor and log all access attempts to the QConvergeConsole, focusing on anomalous or unexpected requests that may indicate exploitation attempts. 3) Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) with custom rules to detect and block path traversal patterns in incoming requests targeting the getDriverTmpPath method. 4) Conduct thorough audits of file permissions and ensure that sensitive files are not unnecessarily accessible by the QConvergeConsole service. 5) Engage with Marvell support channels to obtain updates on patch availability and apply them promptly once released. 6) Educate system administrators on the risks of this vulnerability and encourage immediate reporting of suspicious activities. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on network-level controls, monitoring, and proactive detection tailored to the vulnerability's characteristics.

Description

Marvell QConvergeConsole getDriverTmpPath Directory Traversal Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Marvell QConvergeConsole. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the getDriverTmpPath method. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-24980.

Impact

For European organizations using Marvell QConvergeConsole 5.5.0.78, this vulnerability poses a tangible risk of sensitive information leakage. Given that the flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access SYSTEM-level files, attackers could obtain critical data such as system configurations, credentials, or proprietary information, potentially facilitating further attacks or espionage. Sectors with high reliance on Marvell networking and storage solutions—such as telecommunications, data centers, and critical infrastructure—may face increased risk. The exposure of sensitive information could lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Additionally, the loss of confidentiality could damage organizational reputation and trust. Although the vulnerability does not directly impact system integrity or availability, the information disclosure could be leveraged in multi-stage attacks, increasing overall threat severity. The lack of authentication requirement broadens the potential attacker base, including external threat actors and opportunistic attackers scanning for vulnerable systems across Europe.

CWE-22Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #6OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
Implementation · Input Validation
Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
Architecture and Design
For any security checks that are performed on the client side, ensure that these checks are duplicated on the server side, in order to avoid CWE-602. Attackers can bypass the client-side checks by modifying values after the checks have been performed, or by changing the client to remove the client-side checks…
Implementation · Input Validation
Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174).
